Create custom reports in testcomplete.

Hi All,   Is there a way to create custom reports within testcomplete only.       Thanks in advance

    There isn't an out of the box reporting tool built in to TestComplete where you can build out graphs, charts, reports, etc.  You can write custom script code to do these kinds of tasks or import external classes (see JavaBridge).  I think shankar_r has written a custom extension to create an HTML report.

    Keep in mind that the Log consists both of things that TestComplete automatically logs as well as any thing you may send yourself.  There is some level of custom reporting, then, in that respect but it won't be graphs or charts or things like that.

      Hi,

       

      I do have extension which helps you to create the HTML reports that you can find here.

       

      If you aware of how to HTML charts using google charts API or other API to generate the report then you can implement that.

       

      Before doing any customization, the first step is to create some sort of framework where you can structure your automation project then easily you will be able to implement all you want.

      How do you generate any type of report in testcomplete after completing the activity's

        Depends upon what you mean by "report".  When a project or project suite is completed, TestComplete generates a Log of what happened during the run including events, warnings, messages, errors, etc. that were generated.  This is what could be considered the "standard" report that comes from TestComplete.  All the information about what shows there, how to read it, etc., can be found at https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/testing-with/log/about.html
